Frontline Education Reviews

Hi I’m a little confused. I just downloaded FrontlineEducation and it’s saying my login info is wrong even though I KNOW it’s right. Im a substitute and use frontline on my computer all the time and it never says my info is wrong, but this one is for some reason. I tried to use the chat feature for help but none of the 3 options were really related to my problem. I clicked on one anyway and it said “you can log in at this link” and gave me a link that would take me to the login on safari instead of FrontlineEducation .

FrontlineEducation sending me to log in in safari instead does NOT at all count as a solution. Yeah, it works to log in from there, but that just tells me this is the apps fault and that I should give up on FrontlineEducation and delete it. I don’t even know why thats a feature at all because the whole entire point of downloading FrontlineEducation is so you don’t have to use the browser version on your phone (which consistently doesn’t respond when you click log out by the way, so there’s that too).

This “solution” is basically like FrontlineEducation is advertising AGAINST itself. Like “yeah we can’t do it, you better just stick with the browser version.”

FrontlineEducation is easy to sign into and navigate. Everything is pretty straightforward as far as where to find things.

The issue I am having is when a new district is added to my account. I could view the newly added district on FrontlineEducation ONLY after having to uninstall and reinstall FrontlineEducation . Then, the jobs I was assigned to for that district would not show up. I tried the refresh icon in the upper right hand corner on “my jobs” page, nothing. I knew they were there because if I signed in on my browser to the full site, I could see them. Once again I had to uninstall and reinstall FrontlineEducation to get it to show. I am hoping going forward this get resolved so I don’t miss out on any jobs or miss accepted jobs on my calendar.

FrontlineEducation is very simple and helpful. I love the notifications so I can see and accept a job right away, when I’m not even on my computer/phone. However, it seems to crash and bug a lot. I’ve had to delete and reinstall FrontlineEducation at least 4 times in less than a year. And sometime, I don’t even know FrontlineEducation isn’t working until I don’t get notifications. It either freaks out and doesn’t load, or keeps saying there’s an issue. The fix 80% of the time is by deleting and reinstalling. Restarting my phone didn’t fix it. Only once or twice was it an issue that resolved within a few hours. Easy and helpful app, just lots of the same issues repeatedly happening…

I have been getting so many more jobs because of FrontlineEducation. It’s fast and gives me an edge as a sub where work may be scarce because of the Covid situation now that everyone is virtual.

Suggestion: the add to calendar feature is so helpful. However the location link does not allow me to access my maps for directions. The school district is absolutely huge and I often need maps to guide me. So the link with the location could really be useful when added directly to my calendar. I can’t even copy and paste the location in. Anyway to update that?

I think FrontlineEducation has excellent potential! The notification system is fantastic, especially if you’re trying to fill your schedule.

I hope future updates will bring:
- Leave users signed in. If I see an available job, I’d like to be able to switch to my calendar app to check my availability and then return to Frontline without needing to start over.
- There’s a lag when rejecting jobs. Sometimes I’ve rejected a job and it remains on the list for another minute or two. I reject jobs I can’t take to help new opportunities show up more easily; the lag makes me nervous I’ll try to clear it again by clicking reject and realize it suddenly updated and I rejected something I wanted.

When I tap the alert when my phone is locked, it takes forever to accept the face id that unlocked my phone and load the available jobs. By the time it loads, the jobs are usually taken (competition is stiff in my district).
If FrontlineEducation is open and I get job alert, it never loads the available jobs. I have literally let it sit and try to load for 5 minutes. Nothing.
If I tap on a job that has already been claimed, it stays in the available jobs queue even after a refresh. I have close and relaunch FrontlineEducation to see what’s really available.
I had it set with face id security but had to take it off because it severely slowed down the load time.
FrontlineEducation has great potential, but it doesn’t work well on my phone.

FrontlineEducation would be great, but every time you leave FrontlineEducation (even if you just switch to another app for a few seconds), it signs you out and you have to log back in. You can use FaceID or TouchID, but even with these, I am missing jobs because it takes too long to sign in. If I click the notification for a new available job the SECOND it shows up on my phone, sometimes it’s already gone by the time I can get into FrontlineEducation . I realize it isn’t FrontlineEducation ’s fault that competition for jobs is high in my district, but it IS their fault that I am logged out every time I leave FrontlineEducation . Even if it didn’t cost me jobs, it’s just annoying.

FrontlineEducation sends me several notifications an hour, sometimes within less than 10 minutes of each other, only saying “New Jobs Available.” I GET IT. The worst is getting several notifications in the middle of the night! I can’t just turn off notifications because that defeats the purpose of having FrontlineEducation in the first place.

Another thing is that yeah I can sign up for jobs (slightly) more easily than having to get out my laptop, but FrontlineEducation doesn’t include any of the job details so I end up having to get out my laptop anyway so again, defeats the purpose of having FrontlineEducation .

Unless any of that gets fixed, I literally see no point of having FrontlineEducation. Easier and less annoying to just use the desktop version.

There is a bug within the Jobs list that causes jobs that you reject to pop back up in your jobs list over and over again. Even if you refresh and reject them multiple times they reappear. As well, it can take a few minutes for jobs you accept to arrive in your calendar and they also will reappear in available jobs even though you’ve accepted them. This is pretty annoying.
Otherwise, I love that I can access frontline from my phone easier. The only thing that’s missing is the ability to cancel jobs whenever I need to due to illness or whatnot. I wish that were an available option.

FrontlineEducation is much better than the old Jobulator and its also free! A few changes/updates would make it much more robust: Custom sound notification: allow the user to customize the notification sound to use system sounds. I have different apps using different notification sounds so I know what has come in. Badges not working: Doesn’t seem to be working for me. I get a notification, but FrontlineEducation doesn’t have the red dot on FrontlineEducation icon. Calendar not showing non-work days: This function would make the calendar more useful for planning/scheduling needs. Otherwise, a solid app and much improved from the old Jobulator app!

Love FrontlineEducation . Shows open positions clearly with everything one click away.

The hate part is that I cannot choose my non-work days from FrontlineEducation . I have to go to the website and click it. Well, some days I find out I cannot work that day, in the morning, and the last thing I have time for is getting onto the website to do that. That puts me on the phone list and I receive about 3 auto phone calls asking to pick up open work. That is annoying because I clicked the NO phone calls option but it still calls me.
Please add the option to mark Non-work days into FrontlineEducation !!! Thank you.

1. I wish I could stay signed in. Sometimes you need to check something else on your phone before you accept a job. It’s annoying to have to re-sign in every time.

2. There needs to be a way to put down for a sick day on FrontlineEducation . I always have to go to the website for that and that’s not always an option. It’s really hard to do it on my phone. If you could put down for a sick day or to takeoff a day or block a day when you can’t work, that would be great.

I have been a sub for almost 7 years and FrontlineEducation has never given me problems. About 5 days ago it suddenly started flashing on and off and said something was wrong. It still won’t let me get in… I deleted FrontlineEducation but I still get notifications and when I click on the notifications I get the same flashing and messages. I tried reinstalling and it still flashes on and off.

The IT department contacted me to try and work out what was wrong. They were very courteous. FrontlineEducation is working again.

I really liked FrontlineEducation until it wouldn’t accept my facial recognition ever suddenly. I XEd it out. I thought I could restart it and get it up and running again sort of like hitting reset. This does not work so now I must go back to the old ways of signing into the website. I have tried repeatedly over time. My facial recognition works fine on everything else. I seem to not know how to completely eliminate it so a can get it again new, if that is the solution. Is it a matter updates not working. I thought I was pushing the button to get to app support but this what I got so maybe a low rating will get you attention and I can get some help. Thanks if you help me.

I’ve had FrontlineEducation for a WHILE and I have had almost zero problems with it but recently (since the new year pretty much) it will NOT log in or send me notifications about jobs. I am a little frustrated with this because sometimes that notification helps me get the job but if I’m not notified, someone else might grab it.

I just hope this can be resolved and I wasn’t sure where else to express my issues so that they might get fixed. I really have enjoyed FrontlineEducation.

I love everything about FrontlineEducation with one exception. It doesn’t allow for badge notifications for iOS devices. Unless I check my Lock Screen for past notifications or happen to be on my phone when a new job posting comes through, I miss it altogether. Is there a fix in the works for this? I love everything else about FrontlineEducation , especially the ability to add an accepted job to my calendar at any point as well as the ability to see upcoming accepted jobs at a quick glance.

I hate to leave a negative review, but since the only other way to communicate with FrontlineEducation developers is through FrontlineEducation itself, this is my only option. I will edit once the issue is resolved.

Since the last update I have not been able to load FrontlineEducation . I get a spinning icon and it never reaches the log in page. Additionally, I have not received any app notifications for jobs since this update.

According to other reviews I am not the only one experiencing this issue. Please understand that FrontlineEducation is for our LIVELIHOODS. FrontlineEducation forcing us to lose jobs and therefore income is infuriating. Please fix as soon as possible.

FrontlineEducation seems fine yet it would be nice to have a clickable link on the date when I except a job so I can click the link which will ask me if I want to add this date, time, and school directly to my phone calendar or create an event . Without this, after I except a job it is listed on the frontline calendar but I have to manually add this to my phone calendar and at times it creates a conflict.
Thank you

The idea of FrontlineEducation is great, but the execution of it is terrible. It is a great app to get the updates sent to you rather than a phone call. Yet, when I accept a job and want to see what I have for the week or beyond it doesn’t show for me. Plus, when I look to see what jobs I have accepted I get an error. Then, there is the calendar that doesn’t show what I have coming up, but only jobs that I have done, how does that make sense?

FrontlineEducation is good in theory, but I will be sticking to using the safari app to get to the website. Let me know when these things have been fixed.

A few weeks ago my review would have said FrontlineEducation was life changing for me. I could get jobs anywhere - no more having to keep my computer open all day checking the website, and no more missing jobs because I would get a push notification from FrontlineEducation when they were posted.

However, FrontlineEducation has stopped working. I get an error message every time I open it. I’ve signed in again, and I’ve deleted and downloaded again. I’m back to missing jobs and needing to keep checking the website as often as possible. So many missed jobs now. Such a disappointment.

Please fix FrontlineEducation .

After multiple attempts through FrontlineEducation and their website feedback form, nothing was getting through. As I was at peak frustration, FrontlineEducation popped up its “rate FrontlineEducation” message. Don’t mind if I do! So right away, I got a feedback response with an email to use for sending details. I wrote a very detailed message with screw grabs and all, and sent it.
...and the message bounced.

So I tried AGAIN to tell them about it via feedback through FrontlineEducation , and THAT failed to go through. Got the “Oops!” screen.

So I guess the only way to reach Frontline is through this feedback forum. So here we go again. How about you guys offer up a phone number or a real working email address so people can specify issues privately and without complaining in detail here in public? This can’t look good for you.
So if you don’t include a working phone number in your next “we’re sorry you’re disappointed” email to me, I’ll just dump my specific list of issues into another review here. Maybe you’ll see it then.

I have never been successful in operating FrontlineEducation. I attempted to enter my absence today and I wanted to modify the hours for my sub. Every time I entered the end time I wanted it to be, it would give some ridiculous start time and there was no place to correct it. My point is that I have limited hours to spend on sick time, so it would be helpful if this system wasn’t trying to rob time away from me.

Inevitably, I entered my absence on my desktop without hassle and was able to modify my time correctly.

I think FrontlineEducation still needs work.

I personally like FrontlineEducation . I really just wish there was a running time clock. As of now it only updates your hours when you clock out. We are not allowed OT. It would definitely be easier just to open FrontlineEducation . and check it

FrontlineEducation seemed to work fine for a while. But, not anymore! If I clock in or out at a particular time, that should be the time documented. I don’t understand why Frontline would show “actual” time, which is the actual time I clocked in or out and then also show a random time that I clocked in or out. For instance. I clocked in at 7:24 a.m. Frontline shows 7:24 a.m. as the actual time I clocked in, but then also shows I clocked in at 7:30 a.m. The 7:30 time is what you’re showing as accurate and it’s not. You’re causing me to lose 6 minutes!! Makes no sense to me!!!

Your app doesn’t always launch and now you show that there’s an update but when I click that button it just takes me to FrontlineEducation Store and it just has the “Open” button. Nothing is updated! I really like using apps, however, this is not a very well produced one.

This is so much easier to use than our District’s previous system, and the fact that I can do everything from my phone is absolutely fantastic

It keeps saying there is a newer version but won’t give me the ability to update. I’m currently using 7.something and the new version is 8.0. HELP!!!

I’m sorry, but the reviews are quite accurate. Even months later, the latest update is flawed. I’m on iOS 11.3.1 and FrontlineEducation crashes when I try to open it. Like others, my copy used to freeze during the absence submission screen. Skipping FrontlineEducation and just logging in through the web which is a shame, because the Touch/Face ID would be a huge time saver.

I really like this program . It is easy to use and I especially like how it has dark mode so it isn’t so bright in my eyes at night

It is very nice to have an actual memo at the top of the clock in an Clock out ,button so that we can see if we are Clocked in or clocked out 👍

This is the absolutely worst app I’ve ever used. It crashes every time I use it (which is every day) and The bugs are bountiful. not even worth it, i’d rather clock out in the office. I hope this update makes everything a whole lot better being that this is the 11th iteration of FrontlineEducation .

It’s so easy to use the Frontline app and I like having my leave, weekly time and absences right at my fingertips.

I can’t open FrontlineEducation anymore, every time I click on the icon it flashes through blank screen and then clears back to my desktop. I’ve deleted it and re-loaded it a couple of times and it will work maybe once. I’m in HR and feel bad recommending my employees use FrontlineEducation because it seems to be virtually worthless.

It crashes every time it connects to the WiFi, and shows an error when I clock in, so I’m always unsure if it did work or not, so I have to sign in to the website for verification every single morning... then, what is the use for FrontlineEducation ?

Quick to hear of sub openings that become available. User friendly :)
